Next One Is a Babe Chapter 718

Chapter 718Zack said okay and hung up, then John went downstairs to tweak the surveillance cameras.
Meanwhile, Sophia opened her eyes. D*mn. Being so vulnerable makes me sick. She went for her
phone and took a look at the date. The next checkup is around the corner. I bet they’ll make their move
then. She sat up and tried to come up with something, and out popped a plan.
The tweak didn’t take long, and the technicians left after that. Ms. Cannon went to tidy up, and John
was in the yard, making a call, then he came up. When he came in, Sophia was still lying on her bed.
She was getting less inclined to move around now.
John caressed her face. “I’ll be going to the company now, but someone will be standing guard. It’s
fine, so don’t worry.”
Sophia grunted. “Yeah.”
John stared at her for a while before leaving the room. Instead of going to the company, he went to the
mall and made a beeline for the jewelry store.
novelbinThe shopkeeper was already waiting for him. “It’s here.” He was then led to the VIP room in the store.
After staying in the shop for about twenty minutes, John finally came out with his purchased item, and
then someone called out to him.
He looked back to see who it was, and in came Isabelle. She was in her office lady attire and
presumably just finished meeting her client.
She was moving stiffly after seeing John. “I saw you a while back and I wondered if I should say hi. Andas you can see, I did.” She flicked her hair back. “I hope I haven’t caused you any trouble. It’d be a
problem if we can’t work together because of this.”
John smiled. “It’s fine. I don’t mind it, so relax.”
“Is Miss Flintstone doing fine?” she asked. “It’s been a while since I saw her, so I was wondering about
getting together with her.”
John grunted. “She’s doing fine. Are you here to meet a client?”
Isabelle nodded and looked down at the item John bought. “I see you’re here for jewelry.” She smiled.
“Yes.” John then looked at the time. “Talk to you later. I have something to do.”
“Okay. Bye,” Isabelle said.
John went to his car and drove away. With a smile on her face, Isabelle saw him off, but when his car
went out of sight, her smile was wiped away. She looked at the door of the mall coldly.
After some time, John came back to the company and ordered some delivery for lunch.
Zack came back when he was having his meal. When he saw John, he told him, “He doesn’t know
much. Only thing he knows is that his employer only came to him this morning. They covered
themselves up tightly, so he couldn’t see their face.” Zack sighed. “But he said his employer made the
deal in the store across from their company. I’ve sent someone to retrieve a copy of the store’s security
footage. Maybe we can get some clues then.” “I see.” John leaned back on his chair. “Keep an eye on the shadow bank. I think they’re up to
something.”
“Don’t worry,” Zack replied. “Someone’s already on it.” He knew what John was thinking about. “By the
way, Roselia said she hooked up with someone working in the shadow bank, but all she can do is wait.
The guy’s really alert, so she can’t do much for now.”
John smiled. “It’s already good enough that she managed to hook up with him.”
